PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Veteran's appeal for service connection for PTSD has been withdrawn, and the case is dismissed.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim of reopening his service connection for a psychiatric disability other than PTSD and also denied his TDIU claim. The decision found that new and material evidence had not been submitted to reopen the claim, and that the Veteran was not unemployable due solely to his service-connected disabilities.

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete evidence, specifically a unit history of the veteran's military unit from December 1966 to November 1967. The RO is instructed to obtain and review these records.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims due to incomplete information regarding his in-service stressors and for additional development of medical records.

The case is being remanded for further development and consideration of the Veteran's claim for service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The Veteran's PTSD is currently evaluated as 50 percent disabling, which reflects the severity of his symptoms including anxiety, hypervigilance, avoidance of crowds, nightmares, startle response, and social isolation.

The Veteran's PTSD was found to be causally linked to a stressor event during service in the Persian Gulf, and thus granted service connection.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD, an acquired psychiatric disability (including parasomnia), a memory loss disability, hypertension, and coronary artery disease (CAD) due to lack of evidence supporting these conditions were incurred or aggravated by service.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's PTSD with secondary depression is due to a disease or injury incurred in service, and thus grants service connection for this condition.

The Board has ordered additional development to verify the Veteran's claimed stressors and determine if he meets the criteria for PTSD, which may affect his service connection claim.

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for sleep apnea, peripheral neuropathy of the upper extremities (right and left), and PTSD. The Board found that there was no evidence to support a causal relationship between these conditions and his service-connected diabetes mellitus or any other service event.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded due to the need for additional development, including obtaining treatment records and arranging for a new VA examination.

The Board has granted service connection for PTSD and assigned a 30 percent disability rating, effective June 10, 2004. The Veteran's lung cancer and peripheral neuropathy are not found to be related to his military service.

The Veteran's claims for service connection were remanded due to insufficient evidence of in-service stressors and the presence of an undiagnosed illness. The issues related to seborrheic dermatitis, reactive airway disease, and trouble sleeping with grinding of teeth are pending.

The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a nervous condition with headaches, finding that no new and material evidence had been submitted to reopen the claim.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including scheduling a VA psychiatric examination and obtaining pertinent medical records.

The Veteran's PTSD has been rated at 50 percent since May 12, 2004, reflecting significant occupational and social impairment.

The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to procedural issues and the need for additional evidence. The claim will be reconsidered with all new information added to the record, including medical records from October 2006 and May 2008.

The Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine if the Veteran's current PTSD diagnosis is related to an in-service head injury, and whether there is a link between the current symptomatology and the verified inservice head injury.

The Veteran's PTSD has been evaluated at a 70 percent disability rating, effective October 26, 2005.
